Guess the champ by weight class & professional career duration

I’ll take that. I was thinking Mike Weaver for a minute there but I’m sure he boxed longer so I went with ‘Spoon. And being that I was taking the hint as short title reigns, I was focused on 1980s guys.

I knew Frias didn’t have a super long career (but he packed a lot into it) so he seemed like a good fit.

Light heavy was a complete shot in the dark.

Interested to see the outcomes.

Thank you for inviting me.

 

I had no idea this was still going. I thought it was a one-off. Oh well.

 

Kina Malpartida....

Funny thing: Malpartida means badly or wrongly split or cut in Spanish

So she is Kina wrongly split

 

OK, I’m going to take this hint about the hint and, knowing Frias was one of the three, guess the wham bam points to guys who lost their titles by first-round KO.

Again, without checking boxrec (where would be the fun in that?) …

Heavyweight: Floyd Patterson

Light heavy: Montell Griffin

 

Not to steal @Saintpat 's thunder, but I think my next guess would be Witherspoon.

 

I’d have to look back but I think he was my original wrong guess.

So it’s someone who got dispatched in one, but … maybe not necessarily lost his title that way? But probably in a title fight?

Again, without the benefit of boxrec:

I think Weaver fought too long since he had that bout with Holmes at the end and started in the 1970s.

Michael Spinks surely did not fight 20+ years. And we’ve eliminated Floyd. I think Sonny started too late and died too soon.

This narrows it down.

I’m going to take a flyer on Max Schmeling.

 

That sounds painful

 

Wow. I’ll have to say I surprised myself.

But I thought Max lost the title he won from Sharkey (by DQ) in a rematch. Then lost to Joe Louis by KO 1 challenging for Joe’s title in his rematch with the Bomber.

 

lol yep!

She was in trouble with the law not that long ago either.
